And for long Six Gap climbs, another training idea is to try a longer hard effort into the wind, at a little lower cadence.

Heh, in-your-face climbs are hard. Most of the local climbs here have some curves, so you only see part of the climb.

53/12 at 15mph to 17mph into wind for 1 to 3 miles at a time.
